Associate Professor, CGISS and Department of Geosciences
Dr. Hans-Peter Marshall is a snow scientist and glaciologist who uses geophysics and engineering tools to study the cryosphere. He joined the faculty of the Center for Geophysical Investigation of the Shallow Subsurface (CGISS) and the Department of Geosciences at Boise State University in 2008. A major focus of his research involves quantifying the spatial variability of the seasonal snowcover and its effect on remote sensing measurements, snow hydrology, and snow avalanches. His interests also include snow slope stability modeling, snow and ice mechanics, and melt water pathways in both snow and temperate ice. Dr. Marshall holds a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Colorado in Boulder, as well as a B.S. in Physics, with a Geophysics minor, from the University of Washington.
In addition to his work at Boise State, Dr. Marshall serves as a Research Scientist at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (U. of Colorado/Boulder), a Geophysical Engineer (Expert Consultant) with the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, the
Chair of the Research Committee, and a Professional Member, of the American Avalanche Association, and as a Cryosphere Representative to the Fall AGU Planning Committee.
